Feeders...

[RachelRiot]

Well we have attempted several times to breed crickets and well, they just do not want to breed for me. I got them to lay eggs and we just had no luck incubating and hatching them.

So now we are trying to find another staple food that we can easily breed. I bought some supers tonight at the pet store to try to give to Brody. Tomorrow will be her first taste of one.

I am wondering how easy it is to breed supers. Is there another staple that is easily bred?

I am spending a ton of money on feeders around here and I am just looking for new ways to cut my costs (so I can but more fun stuff for my herps )

Rachel, see what I wrote about Kingworms. I believe that is another word for super worms. Anyway, the directions are what you need. I have raised supers for about 6 months and it is easy, simple and not yeckie. I did it on a small scale just to see if I could, but am increasing my efforts to feed them off to 4 adult chams and one 4 month old little one.

It takes a long time to get started but once they get started they are fun to watch.

Thank you so much. I am going to go check it out now. How many did you start with? I have one veiled approx. 6-8 months that I would be feeding.

12 should be fine. You probably could do less, but better safe than sorry.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

roaches are known to be very good as well. easy to maintain, silent and breed really fast.

I have a horrible fear of roaches. My parents were pretty poor when I was a kid and I grew up with roaches. I remember being afraid to sleep some nights cause I didn't want any roaches to crawl into my bed. Needless to say, I cant do roaches.
